Because
one giant robot teaser trailer a week is not enough, the internet has seen fit to provide us with the trailer to Hugh Jackman vehicle Real Steel. BRING IT!
It doesn't look as awful as initially expected. In fact it looks way better than initially expected. But it's still potentially bad.
Hugh Jackman plays Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.
It's basically Robot Wars meets Transformers meets generic sports movie. What do you think? Does Real Steel look like fun?
